Grants for Carers

It will be agreed with you how these needs will best be met and what specific outcomes you want to achieve. Your outcomes can be met in a number of ways such as the offer of advice, information and support services. It may also include allocating you a Carers Wellbeing Payment.

Carers Break

The regular demands of caring can soon lead to feelings of exhaustion, so it's important to recognise when you need a break. There are lots of different options that can be explored. You may need an hour each week, a day here and there, a week or two for a holiday, or a combination of all of these. Download our factsheet for more information.
